Is this system accessible via SSH?
Does the behavior only happen when using the physical keyboard?

Might it be out of physical memory (RAM) and swapping violently?
Disk thrashing of this sort can cause rather irritating delays.

Or maybe a failing or failed drive?  (Assuming you could have a hardware or
software RAID setup).
